First three-year journey
This multinational assembly of actors, dancers, musicians and other performers travelled widely in the Middle East and Africa in the early 1970s. This was as a three-year 'pilgrimage' to answer the question "What were the common stories, the recognizable shorthands, the instant abstractions, the shared outlines of story and character with which an international group could work?"Achaemenid ruins of Persepolis and Naqsh-e Rostam, and The Conference of the Birds, developed in West Africa and completed in 1974 at BAM in Brooklyn, New York.
